Sentence examples for crack evolution from inspiring English sources

As a result, the crack evolution mechanism and cracking type in sandstone containing a single oval flaw under uniaxial compression are revealed.

A novel elliptical ring test method has been proposed to replace the traditional circular ring test method for the purpose of shortening test duration for assessing cracking tendency of concrete and more conveniently examining crack evolution in concrete rings.

This paper presents some relevant experimental investigations and their numerical modeling using the variational multiscale cohesive method developed by Rudraraju et al. [21] which is an effective framework for simulating cohesive crack evolution and thereby predicting the residual strength of cracked composite panels.

The comparisons indicate that the model can elaborately simulate the crack width, crack distribution, crack evolution, and crack-load response of both the single cracking section and overall component, which offers a reliable and efficient tool for the whole-process crack width prediction in nonlinear FEA of RC structures.

Several interesting thermal shock crack evolution phenomena were found.

An irreversibility constraint for crack evolution avoids non-physical healing of the crack.

Fatigue-crack evolution further reduces the cross-sectional area of steel rebar, thus increasing steel stress.

This paper models the groove-to-crack evolution.

The new micro-crack evolution equation suggested that the strain gradients play an important role in the fracture mechanism.

Therefore, it is expected that the micro-crack evolution equation and the crack opening criterion would give the useful tool to examine the fracture mechanism.

In the previous papers (Kobayashi, 2017a, Kobayashi, 2017b), the crack opening criterion was deduced from the proposed micro-crack evolution equation.
